Nneka Ogwumike Retires: The Sabian Symbols support it!
This morning at 10:02 CST I was at work. I clocked out for my lunch break a couple hours later, opened my twitter newspaper, and thank God I was already sitting because oh. my. God! The first thing I saw on my timeline was Nneka Ogwumike retiring after this season. You can search my twitter account and you will see I do not play about her. At all! Sun-Moon synastry. We’re tight🤞🏽
I can’t get into how much she means to me or how much she means to this game since she was drafted #1 in 2012 until now as Madame President of the Players Association spearheading a new collective bargaining agreement for players past, present, and future. No I won’t do that because I will cry on my phone, so I’ll just talk about the stars instead. Just know she is mother. Nneka actually means Mother is Supreme in Igbo. She is queen mother supreme. Talk to her nice.
At the time of her retirement announcement, the Sabian Symbol for the rising sign talks about release from labor. I gasped in the middle of my crying. The transit Moon in Scorpio is quietly supporting her Moon in Scorpio. Unlike other players, I don’t have to guess with her. She is a Scorpio Moon down to her expressions, her passion, her creativity. I’m in awe of her ability to be private yet open at the same time. She can relax in speaking her truth today or rather knowing that her truth was shared today. She can take comfort in the fact that she did it on her terms. The transit Moon is supporting her Pluto (and mine) so this feels even more intense and emotional. For some, me included, this news is a huge, unexpected change and surprise. For others, they can see the positive side. I will eventually get there but not right now😭
Speaking of Pluto, let’s get into the impact of her and the new CBA. Back in March, the WNBA and WNBPA agreed to a new collective bargaining agreement for players. The day of the agreement, the rising sign was at 29°: a burst of action had happened where the union reps and the league basically locked themselves in a room for 8 days until they came to an agreement before the “deadline”. 29° is the degree of clearing out old stuff and making way for what’s new. 29° in Sagittarius Sabian symbol talks about perspiring through effort. It was about 18 long months of negotiations! This was also during the time of Jupiter in Cancer, Nneka’s Jupiter return.
She is not lucky she worked hard!
She worked hard and fought for people who probably wouldn’t have done the same for her. She had the world on her shoulders, kept a smile on her face, competed at the highest level, all during her 12th house year. And she’s a mother!!!
So what she’s just gonna retire and watch her daughter win a WNBA championship and just ride off into the sunset live happily ever after? How rude!
